Light over Florala, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
first object was miles apart from the other two. it just flew from the southeast to the north west, until no longer visible. The other two well to the North East of Florala seem to complete a full long circle flying pattern but then some what stopped, shifted or like slid in an instant change going from north to east. It then completed the circle pattern and flew off north East till out of sight. All 3 objects had the same series and sequence of white blinking lights. There were no signs of red or green lights as on aircraft or helicopters. It would flash 3 times in an interval then go dark for about ten seconds and repeat. There were no visible distinction of an object shape, just lights and no sounds. No other aircraft sounds were heard in this time frame or helicopters. Florala is used by Fort Rucker for training flights, but no helicopter noises were heard.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #117032). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
